After you have selected the desired COM Port via the 4-position DIP-Switch, you must assign an IRQ address by placing the IRQ jumper in the correct position. The figure which follows shows the jumper and DIP-switch in the default position for PnP.

Select the IRQ for your COM port by moving the supplied shorting plug, or jumper, to the two pins below the desired IRQ number. Select an address and an IRQ that does not conflict with others in your computer. Supported IRQ values for the MT5634ZPX are 3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12 and 15.

Note: The jumper must be in the default position (IRQ3) for PnP.
